Price setting sights on Van Gerwen's World Number One spot: "I hope I beat him in the final!"

Gerwyn Price has set his sights on Michael van Gerwen's World Number One spot which is a realistic possibility after the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship.
Price is dreaming of beating Mighty Mike to claim not only the Sid Waddell Trophy but the top spot in the Order of Merit.
It is Peter Wright who is currently poised to end Van Gerwen's reign and if he beats the imperious Dutchman's run, he will take over a spot he has held for seven years. But for 'The Iceman' who faces Brendan Dolan next, if he wins the title, he will claim it.
"It is realistic," said Price. "I think about it, I'm sure Peter thinks about it and I know for a fact that Michael is thinking that if he loses, he loses that top spot and he doesn't want to do it.
"Fair play to him for playing the way he did in his first game. I know it's a lot of pressure on Michael's shoulders to not lose that number one spot.
"He's had the pressure of number one for the last couple of years so I don't think it will affect him, but it will be in the back of his head.
"I think he'll get to the final and have a good run, and I hope he does because he's the sort of player I like to play - I hope I beat him in the final!"

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
